Blasted, I went outside and forgot about the dish water.

Mom with Shatzie back in the early 1990s. I took this shot with 35mm film.

Ok, before I tell you about the dish water I thought I'd splain the photo. That's mom with Shatzie, mom stood a whole 4'10" back then, I had so much fun taking pot shots of those 2 but this was the best shot of them all. I know, you're probably thinking I left the water running but that's not what I did. Instead I filled my 8 quart pot with soapy water then set it on the stove to heat, I didn't intent for it to boil but I went outside to refill the tubs and forgot about it until I came back in. Now the water is too hot to handle, oh well, I'll just have to let it cool down. I know many of you have heard the hit Fly Like an Eagle but have you heard the live version of it?

It was getting that way but luckily I caught it before it got that bad. Now I have enough suds on the stove to really clean it.

This is the first time I have heard the live version. That water sounds exactly like something I would do. My mom was a little one too, barely 5 ft tall.

And I'll bet no one dared cross her path, I know we never crossed ma's cuz she made up for her short stature by employing a wooden cook spoon ..... we usually behaved.

I was using an old 35mm camera and when those two were clowning around I simply started snapping as fast as the camera would go .... which wasn't as fast as my digital camera of today.
